On Thursday 25th May at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry 200 companies exhibited their services at the 2017 Made In the Midlands exhibition.

Over 2,000 guests with a vested interest in the Midlands manufacturing industry attended MIM’s biggest ever show to date which was proudly sponsored by adi Group.

James Sopwith, adi Group Strategic Account Director, was one of the guest speakers at the event and offered delegates an insight into adi’s Pre-Apprenticeship Programme. The programme aims to inspire young people aged 14-16 into engineering. Our long-term vision is to reach out to thousands of children via networking like-minded schools and businesses to interact with each other.

Thanks to everyone who came and visited our stand at the event. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your requirements and how we can support your business with our multi-disciplined engineering capabilities. And if you would like any further information on our Pre-Apprenticeship programme, let us know.

Below are some of the photo highlights from our day at the Expo…
